Be A Wolf - Sessions

Send us Fan Mail No business lesson this week, or maybe the biggest one yet. On 8 November 2026, we got married. This is the 15-minute thank-you speech from our wedding, recorded live and shared as it happened. Anyone who knows us knows we’re late to everything. But some moments you don’t miss. This was one of them. In this session, we thank our families for everything they gave up and gave us, th...

Send us Fan Mail This is a quickfire Be A Wolf session recorded six days before my wedding. Most of us wait for the right moment: the right time to launch, to make the call, to back ourselves. It doesn’t always come. Sometimes you have to go out and create it. In this session I reflect on what this week means to me, on finding peace in the middle of a lot of movement, and on why doing what feels r...

Send us Fan Mail Session 231: Nothing Matters (So Go Anyway) In this session, Nayz flips the idea that “nothing really matters” from something bleak into something freeing. If the failures, the embarrassment and other people’s opinions all fade, then fear loses its grip and you’re free to go after what you actually want. In this session: Why the things you’re scared of matter far less than you thi...

Send us Fan Mail Most people wait to believe in themselves before they start.  In Session 230, Nayz flips that. Belief isn’t what gets you moving; it’s what you earn by moving. From one camera to 500+ projects, from session 1 to 230 Mondays straight, the confidence came from the reps. He also introduces Garage Dreams, a new reel series filmed on his driveway, built on the idea that every dream sta...

Send us Fan Mail In this session, Nayz breaks down why energy is the silent closer in every sales conversation. Drawing on over a decade of selling wedding photography and film across Australia, New Zealand and the Pacific, he unpacks the skill of reading desperation, in the buyer and in yourself, and how to bring real energy into the room without tipping into neediness. Desperation pushes; convic...

Send us Fan Mail Business etiquette rarely gets talked about, and that's the problem. It's invisible when it's done well, so most people take it for granted, right up until it costs them a client, a referral, or a relationship. In this episode of Be a Wolf Sessions, Nayz breaks down why etiquette is a skill you practise, not a personality trait you're born with. How you respond...

Send us Fan Mail How you open a conversation often decides how it ends. In this episode of Be a Wolf Sessions, Nayz explains why leading with outcomes instead of problems changes how people respond to you, whether you're leading a team, working with clients, or building personal relationships. If you start with the problem, people can hear it as conflict or criticism, and they get defensive b...

Send us Fan Mail In this session, Nayzel Sushil makes the case that messaging matters more than anything else in business, because messaging is how conviction travels from you to everyone else. He breaks conviction into three parts: what you believe about your ideas, how it shows up in the way you run your business, and how your actions make your message believable. If you've been softening y...

Send us Fan Mail In this episode, Nayzel breaks away from the sales arc to tackle a harder question: not how to change, but when . Every identity — the hustler, the perfectionist, the "nice guy," the grinder — has a shelf life. The problem isn't that people refuse to evolve; it's that they miss the signals telling them the version of themselves that got them here won't get...

Send us Fan Mail This week on Be a Wolf, I'm chatting through Contagious by Jonah Berger — such a fun read on why some things get talked about everywhere while others just... don't. Turns out it's not random at all. There's a real, feel-good pattern behind why people can't help but share the things they love, and once you see it, you start noticing it everywhere — includin...

Send us Fan Mail After 223 episodes, one thing keeps coming back around: the excitement doesn't stay automatic — you have to keep learning how to protect it. In this episode, I talk about what it actually looks like to stay excited about the work you do, especially once the novelty wears off and it just becomes... your life. I get into why learning to have fun is its own skill, not something...

Send us Fan Mail As a founder, the pressure never really stops — deadlines, clients, cash flow, the weight of decisions that ripple through your whole team. But here's the thing nobody tells you early on: your team doesn't just feel the pressure, they feel your response to it. In this episode, I break down why the energy you carry into a room is one of the most underrated leadership tool...

Send us Fan Mail When compassion meets a broken soul, something sacred happens — you catch a glimpse of the blueprint God wrote into every person. In this episode of Be a Wolf, Nayz explores brokenness not as weakness but as exposure — the place where real connection and healing begin. Drawing on the wolf-pack instinct to protect the wounded, this session is a call to see people the way they were...

Send us Fan Mail Every win has a price — and it's rarely paid alone. In this episode, Nayz breaks down why the hardest moments aren't obstacles to success, they're the entry fee for it — and why no version of "glory" is ever really a solo story. This week on Be a Wolf: Why pain isn't punishment — it's the cost of admission The truth behind every "solo"...

Send us Fan Mail Most founders talk about culture like it's something you build in an office, over coffee, in the hallway. But what happens when your whole team is remote and subcontracted — spread across Melbourne, Auckland, and the Pacific? In this episode, Nayz breaks down what happened when Feature's team sat down to talk honestly about culture: what's working, what's not,...

Send us Fan Mail Why You Never Actually Lose Possibility (alt: "Possibility Doesn't Die — It Goes Dormant") Show notes: This week on May It Be A Wolf, we talk about possibility — and the lie that you can lose it. You don't. Not really. What actually happens is quieter: you stop asking what's possible for you and start outsourcing that answer to comfort, other people's...

Send us Fan Mail This week on May It Be A Wolf, we're talking about future demand — and why chasing only the couples ready to book this week means missing everyone who hasn't even started looking yet. Three things to sit with: The demand you see today is old news. Every inquiry landing in your inbox right now was decided months ago — shaped by content, trust, and relationships you built...

Send us Fan Mail This week on May It Be A Wolf, we talk about time and space — and why they're not the enemy of progress, they're the source of it. It's easy to think persistence means constant motion, always go-go-go. But the best ideas rarely show up mid-sprint. They show up in the gaps — the walk, the pause, the room you give yourself to actually think. This episode is about prot...

Send us Fan Mail Episode #215: "The Art of Preparation" — Be A Wolf Sessions with Nayzel The best closers in the room aren't the smoothest talkers — they're the most prepared people in it. What looks like natural confidence is almost always yesterday's homework showing up on time. In this episode, Nayzel breaks down preparation as the real competitive edge in sales and bus...

Send us Fan Mail Not every lead that goes quiet is a lost client. Some people aren't a no — they're a not yet. In this session, Nayzel breaks down one of the most misunderstood parts of sales: knowing the difference between a lead who's gone and a lead who just needs more time. Most founders and creatives panic when someone goes quiet, start chasing out of fear, and end up pushing a...

Send us Fan Mail Episode 213 opens in stillness — not the kind that signals a slow day, but the kind that only comes when you've actually earned something. This week it's about the pause before the next leap. Nayz gets into the practice of deep presence: what it means to actually stop , look back down the mountain, and let yourself feel the distance covered before you sprint to the next...

Send us Fan Mail Technology is making it easier than ever to enter the creative industry — but easier entry doesn't equal better outcomes. In this session, we break down why lowering the barrier to entry is a double-edged sword: yes, you can get started faster and produce work more efficiently, but none of that guarantees your business will grow. What actually moves the needle is your ability...

Send us Fan Mail This Week on Be A Wolf Sessions 🐺 This week, I reflect on missing a Monday. I knew that day would come eventually. For 210 Mondays in a row, I showed up. No matter what was happening in business, life, relationships, travel, or the chaos in between, I found a way to hit record and share a session. Last week, I got sick. And for the first time, I missed a Monday. The interesting t...

Send us Fan Mail This session explores the growing conversation around AI, automation, and the future of human work. Nayzel breaks down why real innovation takes time and why technology needs years of observing human behaviour, decision-making, creativity, and problem-solving before it becomes truly reliable in the real world. The conversation dives into the difference between imitation and unders...

Send us Fan Mail Session Summary This week’s session is a real conversation around what sales actually feels like behind the scenes as a founder, creative, and entrepreneur. After reviewing recent sales calls, Nayzel reflects on how energy, emotional intelligence, and human psychology often matter more than scripts or strategies. The session explores how understanding what people truly want change...
